10 Macho Dancers I Met in Cebu - 5. Daddy

Pop Quiz:  How many Cebu Macho Dancers that you know celebrated Father's Day last Sunday?  If your answer is 0.  Tsk Tsk Tsk.  Guess again.


Maybe it is career-ending if customers know that an MD has kids or a family.  Which is why this information is kept a secret.  Not talking about advertising about the MD kids, but simply admitting to it when confronted.

Let's call him Allen.  He was on his late 20's when I first met him.  Dark-skinned and on the twink side. For some reason he looks closer to 21 than to his real age of 28.  A friend told me that people are suspecting that Allen has a kid.  Initially, I asked him about it which he denied, and I believed him.  He said people are making up stories about him because of his troubles with the other bar.

Not even 6 months after, I chanced upon him at a drug-store-cum-grocery near Ibabao.  He was buying infant milk!  I did not confront him.  I actually have never confronted him ever since we parted ways.  I had a strange feeling that the rumors are true.  My connections with transportation office and the statistics office confirmed that not only Allen is already a father, but is married with 3 kids, including (then) 7-month old daughter.

More than hurt or anger, I felt guilt and sadness.  Somebody had to lie to make a living.  And I thought to myself, are we damaging his kid's life by what we are doing?  Or are we actually helping his growing family, by supporting him?

I would have never known the answer to either of those 2 questions.  But what I know, is that there are so many Allen's in the Cebu MD community.  Fathers in hiding for fear that they would lose customers if they knew.  Incidentally, from our Top 5 Fave Cebu Macho Dancers, more than 2 are already daddy's, including one very recently =).  

Gay Bar --> Entertainment Bar

Not sure if you've heard but a number of Cebu Gay Bars have recently rebranded.  They are now either hosto bars or male entertainment bars.

Godfather in Mandaue (beside Parkmall) is a hosto bar.  Zeus Bar and NaughtyKa! Bar have both rebranded as Male Entertainment Bars.  Also recently, Tarzan Boys would not allow male only visitors, that means males or gays without female company will be allowed inside.

This is a big move on the part of these establishments explicitly stating who their target audience is.  With the emergence of Korean women clientele and the regular local female clients, we are seeing a shift on the male entertainment business.

This leaves Navigator and CheetahBar as all-welcoming entertainment bars.  Will they follow suit?  We will see.

Bias against women

It is very common in the Philippines to see an elderly man together with a younger female.  In Cebu, that is even more evident.  It is very common that it does not feel odd to look at them.  It has become prevalent in Cebu malls and coffee shops that the couple do not even merit a second look.

The other way around is unfortunately still not the case.  Matured women seen together with younger men are still given the second look, third look and even the stare.  Regardless of whether they are seen in Manila, Davao, Ilocos even here in more accepting Cebu.

Judgmental stares, malicious whispers or sly laughters.  Life is unfair.

Navigator Bar Cebu - Bruce

Definitely one of the sexiest models in any Cebu Gay Bar, Bruce is a big star at the Navigator Gay Bar.  He is lean and sexy which is a proof that you do not need the bulging muscles to be sexy.

He is very in demand, which is probably why he often disappears.  But when he appears, he is definitely worth it.

Cheetah Bar Cebu - Miko

Probably no need to introduce him, as Miko is one of the most popular and sought after models at Cheetah Bar Cebu.  Very cute, and really young-looking.  But don't be fooled, he has been in the business for quite a while and he sure knows how to do his job.

He is a great company as he is fun-loving and has stories to tell.  Many who frequent the bar will tell you that Miko is their favorite.  What he lacks in the muscles and body department he sure makes up with his personality.

Directions to NaughtyKa! Gay Bar Cebu

Finding NaughtyKa! Bar in Mandaue can be a little tricky.  If you take a cab, of course it is easy.  As most taxi drivers know where it is.

A. Del Rosario is a 1-way street so you cannot take the street if you are coming from AS Fortuna or H Cortes.  So you have to circle around(towards Parkmall) then come back to Del Rosario.  Also very few people call the street A. Del Rosario.  It is more commonly known as Guizo.  


Below is the best approximation of NaughtyKa! via GoogleMaps.  Again, there is very little chance that Gay Bars will be in GoogleMaps.  


Enjoy!   

Naughty Ka Restobar

Taken: Joel and Iber Cebu Macho Dancers

Should we be happy that they had been taken out of the Gay Bars?  Sources say that 2 of our beloved starlets have found "outside lives".  That is probably the reason why I have not seen either.  Interestingly, one of them is from Navigator and one is from Cheetah Bar.  More interesting, one of them is via a Pinay and the other via a Koreana.

Honestly, I did not care for either of them (just being honest!), but now that they are no longer regulars, I kinda miss both of them.

So let's have a look for what may be the last time.


Joel of Navigator

he does not appeal to more than 50% of the loyal parishioners.  But to those who he appeal to, they are hit very hard.

He has lost this blonde hair.  Thank goodness!  Which actually made him more manly.

Congratulations Joel.  And I wish you the best.  And I sincerely hope I do not see you again on the stage.  Hope you start with a new life.

Iber of Cheetah Bar

It is true.  Koreanas prefer "Black Beauties"

What Iber lacked, he made up for his ability to tease.  Fun but dangerously cute Iber.

Good Luck Iber.  But be very careful, you know what we mean =)
